Chapter 379 Chance and Knowledge

"Master, my concubine's surname is Zhao. However, my cousin Wu Gui is a good man, but his temper is too soft."

Qingwen has upgraded from an illiterate to a literary young woman. Not only has she read a lot of books, but her speech has also become clouded and difficult to understand.

Yuzhu is a talented champion and the best of the best, so he can naturally hear Qingwen's subtext.

To put it bluntly, Qingwen's father is not a thing, she would rather follow Yuzhu's surname Zhao, and refuse to mention her original surname.

Moreover, the two people outside are Qingwen's cousin and cousin.But she only mentioned her cousin, not her sister-in-law.

This shows that Qingwen doesn't like to see her cousin.

"Come here, go and invite Aunt Qing's cousin here." Yu Zhu didn't mention Wu Gui's promiscuous wife either.

Soon, Wu Gui was led in.

Cousins ​​in this era can intermarry.

According to feudal etiquette, when married cousins ​​meet each other, they must be separated by a screen until they are over forty, so as not to arouse the suspicion of Li Xia in the melon field.

Yuzhu knew that Wu Gui treated his cousin Qingwen pretty well, so he ordered someone to remove the screen to avoid suspicion.

After Wu Gui came in, as soon as he saw the jade pillar, he knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said very respectfully: "Little Wu Gui, please pay respects to Lord Hou. Good luck to Lord Hou."

Seeing that Wu Gui was very well-behaved, Yu Zhu said kindly, "Come here, enjoy your seat and serve tea."

Wu Gui and Qingwen are uncle's cousins, and they are both servants bought by Lai Da.

However, Qingwen, who was exceptionally handsome, had good luck, and when she was brought to see Mrs. Sun by everyone Lai, she was caught by a glance.

Lai everyone, deliberately took Qingwen to see Mrs. Sun, just thinking about dedicating Qingwen to Mrs. Sun.

Since Mrs. Sun has taken a fancy to Qingwen, everyone is happy to pay her respects to Qingwen.

Not long after Qingwen entered Cao's mansion, she was transferred to Yuzhu, but Wu Gui has always been Lai Da's servant.

This Lai Da was originally a servant, but relying on the power of the Cao family, he actually lived a good life like a servant.

This is the so-called, when one person attains the Tao, the servant also ascends to heaven.

Where would Wu Gui dare to sit?

He lowered his head, pursed his lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Where is there a seat for a villain in front of...Hou... Lord?" He clenched his right hand tightly, appearing extremely cramped.

Yuzhu personally received Wu Gui, but it was just to save Qingwen's face.

When the etiquette was over, Yuzhu got up, turned to Qingwen and said, "I still have to see guests. Well, it's the first time your cousin came to visit you, no matter how you say it, you have to keep him in the house." Let's go home for lunch?"

Qingwen smiled sweetly and said, "Master, you can go outside to meet guests without worry."

Yuzhu suppressed the little itching in his heart, took four square steps, and walked straight away.

In the study outside, Zhou Quan was gathering around the brazier with more than a dozen jade sticks and pipe belts, eating tea and kneading sunflower seeds while chatting.

"Yu Shuai is here!"

Following Wu Jiang's low shout, everyone in the room immediately stood up and respectfully faced the door.

When Yuzhu stepped into the room, all the old subordinates saluted at the same time, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I wish Yushuai peace."

"Come on, everyone is your own. Since you are here, you don't have to be polite." Yu Zhu turned his head and told Wu Jiang, "Go and ask the cook to prepare more roasted mutton. They are all meat-loving people. guy."

"Hey." Wu Jiang agreed and exited the room.

In the new army, there have always been two sets of military salutes.

Among them, bringing the legs together, bumping the heels violently, raising the right hand, and pointing at the temple obliquely are the etiquette during daily training.

As for Zhaqian asking for alms, hehe, it is also essential.

Because, at some point, the old emperor will send princes and ministers to inspect the new army.

No matter how great a hero is, he must first confuse the old emperor when his wings are fledgling.

Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, and Liu Bang was invited to a Hongmen banquet, all of which were helpless acts of inferior strength.

If it is said that Han Xin drew his sword at that time, he might have been slaughtered like a chicken!

The people present are all the direct descendants of Yu Zhu's direct descendants, the confidants of his confidantes.

Yuzhu asked everyone to sit freely, and everyone was very obedient, gathered around Yuzhu and sat down.

"In your battalion, there are officers on duty, right?" They are all soldiers, and Yu Zhu naturally mentioned the issue of being on duty.

Lu Wu grinned, cupped his hands and said: "Yu Shuai, among our new army, the military discipline is extremely strict. We dare to come out without keeping anyone on duty. Isn't that a shame?"

"Yes, yes, Commander, if there is no one on duty in the camp, no matter how much you like us, you will chop off our heads and use them as chamber pots." Ma Qingfang shook his wit, and immediately made Yu Zhu laugh.

The line infantry tactics and strict military discipline of the modern army are the core soul.

During the War of Independence in the Beautiful Country, the disorganized farmers were beaten to the brim by the disciplined British lobster soldiers.

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the French with their brains in the water, sending troops, money and weapons to help the bumpkin farmers defeat the British army, the so-called independence of the United States may have been delayed for a long time.

Zhou Quan at the side, seeing everyone and Yu Zhu being intimate and joking, he couldn't help shaking his folding fan lightly, and thought of the famous saying with joy: Son of Heaven, a man with a strong army and a strong horse should do it, rather have a kind!
This sentence comes from the "Biography of An Zhongrong" in "New History of the Five Dynasties · Later Jin · Biography Thirteen".

Translated into the vernacular, it is: Power grows out of the knife!

Zhou Quan is not an ordinary person, he was able to pass the provincial examination and was ranked within the top [-], he must be full of economics.

What surprised Zhou Quan the most was that all the officers in front of him could understand the written military orders.

You know, the officers of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion in this era are mainly reckless men who can't read a few big characters.

Eight Banners select soldiers, regardless of cultural level, only emphasize two things: riding and archery.

The same is true for the selection of soldiers from the green camp.

Therefore, the middle and senior military officers in the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion are surrounded by masters who help them read official documents or military orders.

Of course, Yu Zhu knew the situation in the new army well.

Today is the new year, Yu Zhu didn't plan to talk about military affairs, so he asked the old subordinates one by one, how comfortable is the house?Is silver enough?Is the daughter-in-law still virtuous?

Niu Tai smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, master, the slave lives outside, so he only misses the delicious food in the house."

There is no way, Niu Tai is Yuzhu's haha ​​bead, only he dares to be called by the master and slave.

How many times have Yuzhu and Niu Tai talked.However, Niu Tai is obedient in everything, but he is particularly stubborn when it comes to addressing him.

Alas, Yuzhu didn't recruit him either, so he had to let him go.

In the past, Niu Tai lived in the guest room in the outer courtyard of Longfu.Later, when Yuzhu bought land and houses for everyone, he also allocated a small building to Niu Tai and asked him to move there as well.

Confidant officers, not slaves, must respect the personal dignity of their subordinates.

Back then, during the Great War in the Central Plains, why did Feng Huanzhang, who was the most powerful, suddenly collapsed?

Isn't it just treating your confidantes as slaves, beating and scolding whenever you want without hesitation?

The weirdest thing is that at that time Han Fuju was already the leader of an army.

Feng Huanzhang actually ordered Han Fuju to kneel down to the gate for Lao Tzu in public during the military meeting.

In the end, the opponent only gave some money, and also granted the territory in Shandong, and Han Fuju was easily bought over.

Lu Wu and Ma Qingfang looked at each other, alas, there is no way, who told them that the qualifications of the two of them to follow Yuzhu are far inferior to Niu Tai?

No matter how envious, envy is in vain.

Opportunity and acquaintance, this thing, can be met but not sought!

Zhou Quan, who had been keeping secret all this time, had already noticed the secret interaction between Lu Wu and Ma Qingfang.

Alas, what happens in life is really unpredictable.

If it hadn't been for the same year that Yuzhu became the provincial examination, Zhou Quan would still be suffering in the bitter cold of Ninggu Pagoda.

The so-called exile in Ninggu Pagoda, enslaved the armored man!

Don't look at the punishment of more than ten words, the blood and tears in it, only the parties themselves know.

Just because they stood in the wrong team, the Zhou family, which could have called the wind and rain, fell from a high-ranking official family to hell overnight.

If it weren't for Yuzhu's secret care, the young women in Zhou Quan's family, from Zhou Quan's wife to the little girl, would lose their chastity.

Alas, Zhou Quan saw with his own eyes how a young woman who was publicly insulted by armored men survived humiliation and humiliation in order to have an extra bite of meat for her son.

Zhou Quan will never forget Yuzhu's love and love.

It is no exaggeration to say that for Yuzhu's great cause, Zhou Quan dared to pierce the sky!

At noon, Yuzhu accompanied the old subordinates, after lunch, he returned to the inner study with a red face.

As soon as Yuzhu entered the door, Qingwen threw herself into his arms like a sucking swallow throwing herself into a forest, her hands tightly wrapped around his neck.

"Little boy, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Yuzhu knew Qingwen's temper like the palm of his hand.

"My lord, I would like to beg you to buy my cousin into our house. Hmph, that slut attracts bees and butterflies everywhere. My cousin is too cowardly. He only dares to drink in secret behind his back. He doesn't look like a big brother at all." A man." After Qingwen read a lot of books, even when talking to Yuzhu, she still had to hide her prose.

As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Even a big-faced treasure can indulge Qingwen to tear a fan, let alone Yuzhu who can pull a boat in her stomach?

"Oh, you're just begging the Lord to help with things like this?" Yuzhu didn't agree immediately, but deliberately manipulated it to let Qingwen perform well.

As a result, under Qingwen's initiative, Yuzhu enjoys the tenderness of a woman heartily.

After bathing, lie back on the kang.

Under Qingwen's obsession, Yuzhu stretched her waist comfortably, and said with a smile: "It's up to you. Tomorrow, I'll let someone take care of things."

"Well, it's so kind, my concubine only wants my cousin to come over." After all, Qingwen is a well-known literary and artistic young woman. After scolding her cousin for being a slut once, she never mentioned her again.

Seeing Qingwen looking at him eagerly, Yuzhu couldn't help but gently embraced her shoulders, and said with a smile: "It's all up to you, let Wu Gui reconcile or divorce his wife, and then come to reunite with your brothers and sisters. Are you right?"

"Hee hee, you know all about my concubine's mind." Qing Wen laughed and rolled into Yu Zhu's arms.
